This document compares the Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) diseases burden for three countries: Botswana, Brazil, and Brunei. We compare the burden due to communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases (CMNN), non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and overall disease burden for these countries.
The source data is from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.

Botswana’s DALYs rose sharply from about 27,900 in 1990 to a peak of roughly 83,200 in 2002 before entering a sustained decline back to about 25,400 by 2019, suggesting a substantial but temporary burden spike in the early 2000s.
In contrast, Brazil shows a steady and consistent reduction in DALYs from about 13,200 in 1990 down to roughly 4,840 in 2019, indicating long-term improvements in population health.
Brunei’s DALYs remain comparatively low (around 3,500 in 1990) and exhibit only modest fluctuations over the three decades, reflecting relative stability in its disease burden.

Between 1990 and 2019, all three countries saw overall declines in non-communicable disease DALYs, with Brazil showing the most consistent year-on-year reduction from about 26 800 to just over 20 000.
Brunei’s DALYs fell from roughly 29 500 to 22 700, though there was a mid-2000s plateau before renewed improvement.
In contrast, Botswana experienced a pronounced rise in DALYs—peaking near 32 000 in the mid-2000s—before reversing course to end at approximately 25 600, mirroring regional gains in disease control but highlighting a later start.
